Boston's Best Bands Part 2

Here is a continuation of yesterday's post. 5 more GREAT bands from Boston.

1. Gene Dante and the Future Starlets

Jill's favorite Boston band. Like a mix between Hedwig and the Angry Inch and mid-70's glam rock like Queen, Gene Dante and the Future Starlets are definitely an up-and-coming band in the Boston area. Best Songs: C Star, OK Sunshine, When the Starlet Hits the Wall.

2. Thick as Thieves

Post-modern punk rock. Really good stuff. Their albums are all concept albums. Recommended for fans of Rival Schools, Coheed and Cambria, and Cursive. Best songs: Here's to Waking Up, everything else - haven't found a song I didn't like.

3. Logan 5 and the Runners

Glam Rock at it's finest. Best song: Girls of the Internet

4. Blanks.

Blanks. is an offshoot of another Boston band, The Main Drag. I would include the Main Drag here, but haven't seen them live. Blanks. have a very awesome sound. Definitely dancable alternative pop rock. Best Songs: anything on the Infinite Lives EP.

5. My Stupid Friends

A side project of Waltham (again...haven't seen them yet...) that is really bizarre. They have 4 guitarists....lol...and a very juvenile sense of humor. I didn't like them at first, but their Green Jello like antics eventually caught on. Best Songs: most of their best stuff isn't on CD yet, but check out their cover of Hangin' Tough.

Look for part 3 in the future. :D
